SUMMARY:Interpreting Political Architecture: Government Buildings in Southeast Asia (and beyond)
LOCATION:REC A2.13
DESCRIPTION:Changes of power occurred in Southeast Asia during the expansio
 n of the Western countries to their shores, later to be termed colonialism.
  During the turn of the 20th century onwards, a hybrid of public buildings 
 replaced the impressive imperial complexes such as those in Bangkok, Mandal
 ay, and Yogyakarta, and local connectivities were often ignored when insert
 ing modern ideas of infrastructure. Later, colonial structures were gradual
 ly modified such as in Jakarta, Kuala Lumpur, and Singapore.\n\nIn Europe, 
 throughout the 19th century, public pressure encouraged the transfer of pol
 itical power to representatives of the people which in turn necessitated ac
 cessible public buildings. The European architecture and designs incorporat
 ed in those buildings were transferred across the imperial realms and plant
 ed in the landscape of the occupied territories.\n\nConnecting across this 
 panel are how political buildings are initiated to advance a narrative, des
 igned by the instigators of the projects - both colonial and local - to est
 ablish their ideals on the local populace. The panel seeks to lead us into 
 the modern era of public government, the building complexes they erected, t
 he cultures, beliefs and/or narratives of the buildings’ influencers,
  and how the architecture was meant to convey the national ambitions of the
 ir respective states by means of the appropriation of various architectural
  models and designs.
